HIGUAÍN DETERMINED TO END ON A HIGH AFTER CONFIRMING RETIREMENT

Inter Miami striker Gonzalo Higuaín says he’s determined to end his career on a high in MLS after announcing his retirement at the age of 34 on Monday.

The former River Plate Juventus, Real Madrid, Napoli and Argentina striker will see out the current season at Inter Miami and attempt to push Phil Neville’s side into the play-offs before quitting the game.

“The day has arrived to say goodbye to football, a profession that has given me so much and one I feel privileged to have lived with its good and bad moments,” an emotional Higuaín told a press conference.

Higuaín scored 31 goals in 75 appearances for Argentina and helped them reach the World Cup final in 2014 and the 2015 Copa América final.
